Teacher to Be Re-Sentenced in Montana Rape Case
BILLINGS, Mont. — Sep 26, 2014, 2:16 AM ET

A teacher who spent just a month in prison for the rape of a 14-year-old student is going back to court to be re-sentenced, after the original judge in the case was censured over comments that placed some responsibility on the victim.

Defendant Stacey Dean Rambold is seeking two years in prison on Friday with another two years suspended for the 2007 rape of a freshman at Billings Senior High School.

His earlier month-long sentence from Judge G. Todd Baugh was declared illegal.

In a letter to the court, the 55-year-old former business teacher sought forgiveness. He said the international attention his crime received made him an object of hate and disgust.

Prosecutors want a 10-year prison sentence with another 10 years suspended.

The victim killed herself while the case was pending.

1. And what kind of punishment will Judge G. Todd Baugh receive for breaking the law?

Zip, I'm sure.

[shenmue]

2. I hope this piece of shit

spends the rest of his sorry life in the clink. Rot in hell.

[freshwest]

3. No. Rambold's own actions 'made him an object of hate and disgust.'

Judi Lynn, thanks for the update on this digusting waste of oxygen. And that sleazy judge.

4. The letter to the court is interesting

"In a letter to the court, the 55-year-old former business teacher sought forgiveness. He said the international attention his crime received made him an object of hate and disgust."

Just my opinion, however I believe the action for which he has been convicted and will be sentenced have made him the object of hate and disgust, but I could be wrong.

5. +1

What a disgusting pig.

[FailureToCommunicate]

6. Umm shouldn't they be seeking punishment for murder? He took the life of that

14 year old girl.


And the judge? What is he facing for his outrageous original 'sentence' ? Just censure? That pig said the girl was partly responsible for her own rape because she "appeared older than her chronological age." And then, because the girl had killed herself, decided that the teacher get a light sentence since one 'witness' was now gone...

7. Send him away for good. And send the first judge with him. nt

[packman]

10. Exactly- let them share a cell for 10 years

and find out what rape really means - pieces of shit and waste of humanity.

[7962]

13. Oh man, NEVER thought of that! Great idea!

[tosh]

8. He IS

an object of hate and disgust.

[marble falls]

9. 10 years, minumum. Twenty would better.

[chrisa]

11. This guy should have been swinging from the gallows within an hour after the trial.

Waste of atoms and energy that could be devoted to something else. A typical sociopathic attention-seeking narcissist.

[Xyzse]

12. I hope the sentence is more in line to the horror he has perpetrated.

Montana ex-teacher re-sentenced to 10 years for rape of student

(Reuters) - An ex-teacher from Montana whose month in jail for the rape of a 14-year-old student triggered public outrage was re-sentenced on Friday to 10 years in prison in a case that a state prosecutor said would bolster rape victims' rights.

Stacey Rambold, a former Billings High School instructor, pleaded guilty last year to one count of sexual intercourse without consent tied to the 2007 rape of Cherice Moralez, a high school freshman who committed suicide in 2010 before the case could be brought to trial.

In a ruling later struck down as unlawfully lenient, a state judge sentenced Rambold to 15 years in prison then suspended all but 31 days and gave him credit for one day served, infuriating women's rights activists.

Outcry over that sentence was compounded by a remark from the judge, G. Todd Baugh, who said that Moralez was "as much in control of the situation" as her then 47-year-old instructor.
